They didn't because they couldn't. There WERE no American civilian targets within range of the Kamikaze attacks, otherwise you can bet they would have.
If you want an idea of how the Japanese treated enemy civilians, you need look no farther than the occupation of China and the Philipines.
'Christian men and women, on the other hand, face lifes test without any firm guarantee that they will eventually find succor in The Lord God. Some Christians may debate this, but they all believe that their actions, in this world, will be examined in the transition to the next'
Couldn't disagree with you more on this statement. Believers have God's Word to the contrary. There is no debate amongst true believers. Examination of our past deeds is meaningless, because the only hope of salvation is through the merits of Jesus, not ourselves.
There is no moral equivalence. Japan is a pacifist nation today because this mindset was utterly and totally defeated. The Japanese are not only pacifist but one of America's most trustworthy allies and largest contributors to the war on terrorism.
The only "moral equivalence" which should be drawn is the equivalence in what it took to defeat Imperial Japan. Reread my post before you accuse me of defending kamikazes.
Oh, by the way, the Japanese did infiltrate the United States during World War II. The closest they ever got to doing any of the atrocities you describe was fighting against the Nazis on the Italian front-- a show of loyalty all the more remarkable when you consider their families were in FDR's and Earl Warren's detention camps at the time.
I agree with you. The first biological weapons were used by the Japanese during WWII, the delivery system was the hydrogen balloons.
If someone claims that Muslims, Christians, and Jews worship the same G-D, you only need to point out that Muslims regard Christians and Jews as "kufir" - infidels. And by definition, Muslims thereby do not consider the One G-D of Christians and Jews to be the god they call Allah.
Allah is indeed the Devil and Mohammed the False Prophet foretold in the Bible. Islam is a death cult whose members kill for their god. They need to be stamped out the same way the British stopped the Thugee death cult of Kali in India.
